Could some of you that are a month or more post op please post what you eat in a day? How Many Carbs do you get? Do you still feel Hungry? How much are you losing per week? I nlost 20 on the liquid diet and only 23 since surgery 8 wks ago.

I eat ~500-700 calories. 50-60 carbs. I've lost 48lbs in 9 weeks.

I'm 2 months post op. I try to stay in the 600-800 calorie range. Some days I go higher 900-1000 it depends on my hunger level. I do feel hunger now, I didn't the first month or so but it retuned though its not like it was pre op. I try to keep it low carb but I'm not struck in carb count honestly. I look at my total for the day and try to keep it under 50 but If I go over as long as I was eating things that were nutritional I don't freak out.

Typical day for me

B 1 egg, shredded cheese and spinach

S turkey jerkey stick

L left over Protein of some kind- chicken and a veggie maybe

S cheese stick and hummus

D ground turkey and white Beans with kale

S diet hot cocoa and SF raspberry Syrup

I'm still losing regularly even though some times my calories are higher. I lost 5lbs this last week- usually ill lose 2-5 so I think it's good and really depends on the type of foods you eat.

Yesterday- I had Protein Shake for Breakfast. lunch was 2/3 of a salmon burger from trader joes with a teaspoon of teriyaki sauce. dinner was 1/4 cup of tuna salad and 1 oz of broccoli and cheese Soup. snack was beef Jerky. I'm really not hungry at all.

I'm going on 3 years post op now, but when I was back to real food, during my losing phase....I called 1% Cottage cheese, the breakfast of champions. The foods that allowed me to meet or exceed my daily Protein goal by 2 months out were cottage cheese, eggs, tuna with 2 TB of Lite mayo per can, steamed shrimp - it's low cal and fish is still 'easy' on my tummy,not as dense as pork, beef or chicken!! I still log my food on line most days and I still weigh or measure my food when we eat at home! It's a game to me, it's fun.....it's a habit!
